Please tell me why that would be far fetched? Do you think that the dinosaurs were hatched out in a colossal size?

Remember this, my friends: there are no such things as bad plants or bad men. There are only bad cultivators.
Try nabbing a bear cub from every bear species, polar, black, grizzley, ect, and if you have any limbs left then go get a young lion, tiger, cheetah, panther, ect. Good luck. I think getting two baby dinosaurs of every dinosaur species would be a task immeasurably more daunting than even that. Actually it would be impossible, since we know that dinosaurs went extinct long before man first drew breath.
And I don't see how he would even know whether he'd gotten every species. The science of taxonomy was crude if not non-existent back then.

Yeah dude, I'm pretty sure he thought Mozart didn't exist too. Also, those vapor lines left after a plane flies overhead? Deliberately excreted poisonous chemicals orchistrated by the British government.Oh, was there someone on here who thought the earth is flat?

We KNOW? I'm sorry, but that goes against the evidence. Oh...but it's easier to just throw out the evidence instead of changing our beliefs.

And I can't help but notice Bien has decided to just ignore how everyone pointed out that his wonderful piece of "evidence" was a fake. I think this would apply nicely to Bien himself:
That was added while I was writing. It's just hilarious. Speak for yourself, Bien.
What evidence? Those fabricated stones?
Noah would have had to have ventured to the North and South poles, deep into the Amazonian rainforest, down to Patagonia, way over to the Galapagos Islands. And, assuming he somehow knew he'd gotten them all, he'd have had to have gone back and released them back into their native habitats. You'd think there might be some mention of these vast distant lands somewhere in the bible.
Edit: It appears that the bible says the animals "came unto Noah." Which means, I suppose, that God somehow commanded them to converge upon ancient Israel. Polar bears, mountain gorillas, kangaroos.... all migrated across continents, compelled by God, and embarked upon Noah's boat upon which they rode out the storm. In a world-view wherein nothing is impossible, I guess not even that is impossible. And since all things are possible with God, it would seem that once you're made the choice to believe in Him you can believe just about anything. Fair enough.

Why, man was also created from clay??

The Power of Cosmic Thinking

There is a Native American belief that one has the responsibility to think seven generations ahead. While this is a nice sentiment, it's not good enough, argue Nancy Ellen Abrams and Joel R. Primack in their book The New Universe and the Human Future: How a Shared Cosmology Could Transform the World. Abrams and Primack argue we are living in a cosmically pivotal moment today, and we have a higher level of responsibility than any generation that came before us.

Yes, that is exactly how evidence is rejected. Have you investigated the evidence? What makes you think that they are fabricated? OH...because it is in contradiction to what you believe? That is AMAZING!!

I think they are fabricated because the guy who supposedly "found" them has since confessed to having fabricated them. They also show pictures of ancient astronauts. Do you believe in them now too?
I do. The secret of Himmler in Atlantis and Nepal. What's not to know is to believe or disbelieve and let it be. If it is to know, there will be an answer. If it is not to know, yet posed as knowledge, an arsenic pill.
Bah - and I believed in fairies.
Yet I don't think that accounts for thoughts or the mind. The potassium and sodium etc etc - are the vehicles for thoughts to arise not the thoughts themseves. You said it yourself - if those conditions aren't there, then there is no thought manifesting.
There may be no magical abstractions - though I never mentioned magic - but you have this magical analogy of hard drives. I don't think science can account for the mind or thoughts, though they can see the process of the meat machine better these days. Or am I wrong?

Have YOU investigated the evidence? The guy who found those stones ADMITTED that they were FABRICATED! Seriously, are you being intentionally obtuse now just to rile people up, or what?
